occurred without any known disturbance
or depression in the more important branch
es of trade to cause them. They come like
"bolts of blue" and seem to indicate an un-
expected expansion of credits. When it is
remembered that familiar causes of expan-
sion have existed; that the currency has
been largely increased, and that wild spec
ulations ran riot, month ago in the stock
and produce markets, these failures, with
their rising volumes of Indebtedness, justi-
fy the fear that the confidence has grown
too fast. The natural inference is that
some firms, anxious to recover in few
months the losses of many weary years,
have gone beyond their depth. How much
of the unsoundness in commercial credit has
thus been produced, it is not yet possible
to Judge. During the past week the legit-
innate business has not been larger in vol
ume. The dullness usual in the closing
week in the year is proved from all quar-
ters, but though dealers are busy in MAX
ing up accounts, there is everywhere a feel
ing of great confidence. Trade during the
past half year has been very large, and gen.
nerally remunerative. The prevailing ten
dency is to count on continued enlargement
for the next season and it would be wise
not to forget that it is possible to build too
largely on the future even in the time of a
real and healthy improvement"

New York World says: "No. 33 West
Houston street is the general recruiting de-
pot i'm this city. The recruit tells whether
he is married or single, his age, nationality
and business. Then he is sworn in and
turned over to sergeant, who never leaves
him until he is safely lodged in the near
est garrison.
Soldiers are enlisted for five years and re-
ceive during the first two years of their SER
vice sl3 month pay; for the fourth year
S15 a month, and for the fifth year SIG a
month, but the third year 81 month is
held back by the Government; for the
fourth year 50 a month, and for the fifth So
a month, which is given to the soldier up
on his discharge, so that he receives at the
termination of his five years service the
sum of So. Besides this they get their
uniform and outfit free.
The barracks at Governors Island are
typical of soldiers quarters all over the
country. Each barrack room accommo-
dates fifteen men and serves as dormltory,
club room and study. Each man has a mar
row bed to himself, but he has to pay for the
washing of his sheets.
The ordinary routine is about as follows: !:
At the sunrise gun the soldiers rise and at
tend reveille roll-call, which is followed by
a general police duty, consisting OF making
the beds, cleaning the rooms, fetching GOALS,
&c. Breakfa is served about half an hour
after roll-call TableclOths are; unknown.
The meal is made up of bread, coffee and
hash. At 7 o'clock comes sick call and the
doctors visit Then certain soldiers take
their revolvers and guard the prisoners,
who are set to cleaning the grounds Three
times a week there is dress parade at 9
O'Clock, when again a general police duty
follows. At 4.55 drill call is sounded, which
takes place every day except Saturday and
lasts one hour. Supper is served at p. m.
Between tea time and tattoo the sunset gun
is fired. and undress parade is held. Tat
too is divided into two parts. The first
part sounds at 9.15, when all the mems
names are called. At $50 "taps" are
sounded when all sober soldiers are sup
posed to be in bed and in darkness.

work performed by a soldier with the avv-
erage labor done by mechanics, the SOL

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.:
OFFICE OF COMPTROLLER GENERAL.
COLUMBIA, S. c., December 27, 1886. }
CIRCULAR No. 2-THIRD SERIES
During the recent session Of the General AS
sembly it was openly charged that at the last
period of listing property for taxation, only three
Auditors in the State required return of the
Cotton held by farmers and others on the lst OF
January. If this charge is true, those Auditors
to whom it applies clearly failed to carry out the
provisions Of the law, which requires personal
property Of every description to be returned for
taxation. There is no more reason why Cotton
or other crops should be omitted from the re-
turns, than that Horses, Cattle or other items Of
property should be, and the law does not exempt
the one any more than the other.
That there may be no further misunderstand-
ing of this matter, Auditors are instructed that
it is their duty, and they are required to list for
taxation, all personal property owned or con-
trolled on the 1st day Of January, and this is to
be done whether the party owning or controlling
the same owes debt upon it or not
AS the right of a party to reduce the amount
of his return, by the amount of his debts, does
not seem to be clearly understood, Auditors are
further instructed, that under the head of
"Credits" are included all illegal debts, claims
or demands in favor of the party making the
return, whether such demand be payable in
money, labor or other valuable thing. From
such credit, and from nothing else, may be de-
Quoted the legal debts, claims or demands stand
ing against the party. If there are no debts in
his favor, the debts against him cannot he con-
sidered, and in no case is it permissible to de-
duct any debt, claim or demand, from the value
Of real estate on tangible personal property.
Auditors are referred to Sections l64, l67, l73
and 220 Of General Statutes.
w. i. SToNEY, Comptroller General.
From the aboye it will be seen that the Audit
or's duty is plainly defined, and in listing prop
erty for taxation during the present listing
period, tax-p payers will please govern themselves
accordingly. w. B. WILLIAMS, Auditor.

In the mining we have included the value
of the crude phosphate rock and the pro,
ducts of the quarries. The outcome of it all
is almost amazing. Taking the population
of South Carolina as 703, 708 in 1860, and L.
loo, 600 in 1886, the average gross income OF
each person in the State was ST in 1860,
against $40 in 1886.
There is deep psignifcance in these figures,
which, moreover, take no account of the
mercantile business of the State. Were the
amount of general business added, it would
be reasonable to say that the gross income
of the people of South Carolina, their means
of living and of spending, is considerably
more than it was in 1860.
1t is TO be hoped that the good people OF
South Carolina can find in the statements
laid before them to-day reasons for encour-
agement and confidence. This will be
great State -four people choose to make itso.
No Commonwealth in the world has more
or greater advantages. tits not out of place,
then, on this New Years Day to say to the
people of South Carolina, who have borne
so much and have so much accomplished,
that they cannot better mark this time of
retrospection, and introspection, than by de-
terminng with all their minds and all their
strength to make this year of grace, 1887,
the best and most prosperous, the most
peaceful as we'll as the most profitable, that
this generation of South Carolnians has
known. And, as Tiny Tim said, "God bless
US, every One!"
